Dan Marcouiller moved to accept the waiver policy as written with the amendment of a period being placed after candidate and the rest of the sentence is stricken.Tom Johnson second.Passed unanimously.

Waiver Policy:

USA Hockey and Minnesota Hockey rules require that skaters register and play on teams in their geographic area/community.Players are to participate on teams from their local association based on the geographic attendance area of the player’s school.Players wishing to play in a different association (for any reason) must receive a waiver approval from IYHA to do so. A player that participates without the necessary waiver is considered an ineligible player.IYHA will enforce a “no waiver” policy.IYHA will not waive a player to another association unless there is not a team opportunity for that skater at IYHA.This rule does not apply to true cooperative arrangements with other associations or schools, including independent cooperative arrangements for girls under District 1 policies.A formal protest will be filed against any Minnesota Hockey team registering an IYHA area skater.IYHA will follow the District 1 policy on waiving-in players from other associations that do not field teams at the appropriate ability level of the player.IYHA reserves the right to refuse waive-in candidates.

The president asked that all board members look at the bylaws and bring suggestions to the next meeting
